According to Hanushek & Quigley (1980), the estimated price elasticity of demand for
housing, Ed, ranges from -0.64 to -0.45.
Please interpret these elasticity estimates. Is demand elastic or inelastic? How
responsive is housing demand to changes in price?
Assume that the housing market is in equilibrium at p° = 100 and Q° = 100. Please
draw this market outcome under the separate assumptions of ɛa = -0.64 and
Ea = -0.45 (i.e., draw two separate demand curves, one of which is more price
elastic than the other). Be sure to label your graph accordingly.
Assume that brand X is an inferior good and name brand Y is a normal good. An increase in consumer income, other things being equal, will cause a/an:
upward movement along the demand curve for name brand Y.
downward movement along the demand curve for brand X.
rightward shift in the demand curve for brand X.
leftward shift in the demand curve for brand X.

- PRE-PROBLEM #8: Welfare Analysis The estimated market demand function for electric vehicles (E) is QE = 200 - 6pE + 5Y, and the supply function is QE = 100 + 4PE- A. Solve for equilibrium price and quantity in the market for electric vehicles. The price of electric vehicles is på and household income is Y. Currently household income, Y, is 40 (all dollar amounts are in thousand dollars). B. At the market equilibrium, what is consumer surplus? FYI: Use 40 in your calculations, not 40,000. Also, your equilibrium price and quantity results will also be in thousands. FYI: Since this is a straight-line demand curve, consumer surplus is the area of a triangle. Area of triangle =(base*height)/2 C. Suppose that household income increases from 40 to 44 (thousand dollars). What is consumer surplus in the market for electric vehicles at the new equilibrium? FYI: With the increase in household income, the demand curve will shift out (electric vehicle is a normal good).

Research suggests an increase in consumption of a particular fast food item is responsible for high number of obesity cases. As a result, the government of that State is considering an imposition of $1 tax. Monthly demand and supply for this good are QD=21-1P and QS= -1+1P respectively. Draw the demand and Supply curve for fast food before the tax is imposed. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer and producer surplus, and label them on the graph. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply for fast food. If the State government imposes a tax, who will bear the most of the burden of the tax? Suppose that the State government finally imposes a $1 tax on fast food. What will the new equilibrium price and quantity? Include the tax on your graph.
